Barplot illustrating the absolute value of the log fold change (LFC) abundances for significantly abundant amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), for the indicators of natural logarithm of residual variance (LnVar) and area under the curve for periods with largest consecutive negative errors (MaxArea). ASVs with positive LFC are represented by yellow bars, while those with negative LFC are represented by light-blue bars. ASVs are grouped based on the genera to which they belong, and when multiple ASVs belong to the same genus, the mean of all ASVs within that genus is reported. The number of ASVs per genus class is indicated near each bar
